Ah, sorry, my mistake. It is interesting that you have a dip at around 3 kHz, even though it is still within the normal hearing pass range. That is the same thing I get when they play high tones at the same frequency as my tinnitus. You hear the tone, but you cannot distinguish it from the...

Hmmm, I cannot find the exact forum post I read earlier where the person with drug-induced tinnitus eventually had it fade to almost nothing, but here is something from Google’s AI search. I know it is not necessarily infallible, but still worth noting: Have you had a hearing test? That would...

Hey mate, sorry to hear you are going through this. It can be horrible in the beginning when you realize the tinnitus will not fade after a few hours or days. The ear pain, which is hyperacusis, is nasty as well. The good news is that your tinnitus is largely caused by medications. If you look...

October update (31/10/2025) I don’t think I’ve made any progress this month, as my MML and MAL remain about the same, which is disappointing. The reason, however, is clear. I skipped a lot of days of listening to pink noise, and on the other days I didn’t manage to reach eight hours. This was...

Sorry to hear you had such a bad case, but I’m glad it’s now just a low white noise type of sound. I completely understand what you mean about unnatural sounds from speakers. Whenever I listen to music through one, it gives me a headache and makes my tinnitus a bit louder if I listen for too...

September Update (07/10/2025) Sorry, this update is a bit late, as I was on holiday. My latest MML is around 10, and my MAL hovers between 1 and 4, so maybe there’s been a tiny bit more progress. My absolute dream is to never hear the sound again, even in silence like Peter Studenik, but I...

Hi mate, sorry, I only just read this. I didn’t get the notification for some reason. TRT stands for Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. It’s a combination of sound therapy using pink or white noise delivered through earphones or hearing aids with built-in speakers, set at a level below the tinnitus...

August Update (05/09/2025) A short update, as not too much has been happening. I have moved out of my parents’ home now that university is finished, and I feel optimistic about what life in my new flat will bring. It is noisier with neighbors and general background sounds, so it has been harder...

It’s interesting to read these results from six years ago, where some people reported a big improvement while others saw no change. I know you haven’t posted in five years, but has it improved at all recently, or is it still the same?

July update (31/07/2025) A quick update, though not much is new. I’ve finished my part-time university degree, which is a big relief. It should help lower my stress levels, so that alone may benefit me. I’m just waiting for the final marks now. My routine fell apart a bit this month due to...

Halfway Through the Year Update (02/07/25) Progress is definitely slower now, probably because I have already come a long way. But I still believe I can eliminate my tinnitus through my Tinnitus Retraining Therapy course, the nightguard, and supplements. I am trying to listen to the sound...

Thanks, I just ordered some online. I will let you know if I notice any difference.

May Update (01/06/2025) Not much change this month, though perhaps a slight improvement again. I definitely need to be more consistent and make sure I get the full six or more hours of sound therapy every day. My latest tinnitus measurements in the diary are: Minimum Masking Level 18 (R3) and...

There has been maybe a 25 percent drop in volume since the start of the year, which is pretty good. It had stayed at pretty much the exact same level from when I first got it in February 2022 until December.
